Lyrics
Good from far
Appearances are deceiving; seems good at a distance.
But far from good
Not actually good despite initial impressions.
A devil in disguise
Posing as a good person but is actually malevolent.
And an open wound
A vulnerable and painful situation.
But look at that angel
Despite the flaws, there is an angelic aspect.
Look at her wings
Referring to an angelic appearance with wings.
Look how they sparkle
Highlighting the sparkle of the angelic image.
Look how they gleam
Emphasizing the gleam associated with the angelic facade.
And it hurts inside
Feeling pain internally due to the contradiction.
To be a classroom valentine
Unpleasant experience of being a valentine in a classroom setting.
Miss Sweetheart
Refers to the deceptive character as "Miss Sweetheart."
Pulls complements out of a jar
Creating compliments artificially or insincerely.
And you wouldn't notice the dirt inside
Hidden flaws that are not easily noticeable.
'Cause she paints it over with colorful lies
Covering up flaws with lies presented in an attractive manner.
Miss Sweetheart
Reiterating the persona of "Miss Sweetheart."
You've got an arrow
Metaphorically describing a piercing emotional impact.
Cutting straight through your spine
Enduring emotional pain caused by this impact.
You've gotta rip it out
Suggesting the need to confront and remove the source of pain.
And in time you will be fine
Assurance that healing will occur over time.
But look at that smile
Highlighting the attractive nature of a smile.
Look how it shines
Emphasizing the brightness of the smile.
Look how she likes you
Noting that affection is not constant but occasional.
Some of the time
Recognizing the internal pain associated with this.
And it hurts inside
Reiteration of the internal struggle as a valentine.
To be a classroom valentine
Repetition of the experience of being a classroom valentine.
Miss Sweetheart
Reiterating the deceptive nature of "Miss Sweetheart."
Pulls complements out of a jar
Continued artificial creation of compliments.
And you wouldn't notice the dirt inside
Re-emphasizing hidden imperfections covered with lies.
'Cause she paints it over with colorful lies
Repetition of the theme of concealing flaws.
Miss Sweetheart
Reiteration of the persona of "Miss Sweetheart."
You know damn well that she wouldn't mind
Acknowledging the awareness of the deceptive nature.
If you suffered the rest of your life
Suggesting a willingness to see others suffer.
You know damn well that she wouldn't mind
Reiterating the lack of empathy for others' suffering.
So you've gotta let go this time
Encouraging detachment from the deceptive character.
Miss Sweetheart
Reiteration of the persona of "Miss Sweetheart."
Pulls complements out of a jar
Continued creation of insincere compliments.
And you wouldn't notice the dirt inside
Re-emphasizing the concealment of flaws with lies.
'Cause she paints it over with colorful lies
Repetition of the theme of covering imperfections.
Miss Sweetheart
Final mention of the deceptive character as "Miss Sweetheart."
